After adding cornerback Devon Witherspoon with the fifth overall pick, the Seahawks made Jaxon Smith-Njigba the first wideout off the board with the 20th selection later in the round. The former Ohio State star joins DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as a target for quarterback Geno Smith and the Seahawks made another addition to their offense in the second round.
Running back Zach Charbonnet joins Ken Walker in the team's backfield and Metcalf said on NFL Network Tuesday that the new additions provide the team with enviable firepower heading into the 2023 season.
"I mean, just the type of person [Smith-Njigba] is, first," Metcalf said. "He's a great dude. And on the field, he's a great route runner, excellent hands.
